THE PROPERTY
An old 180 m2 1950s property that can be extended to at least 300 m2, ensuring it meets present day building standards.
WISHES OF THE CLIENT
This villa has everything we need for our future family home, as long as we can extend. Moreover, this is a prime location. Create as much extra space as possible and ensure the new house is fit for the future.
ROY’S VISION
The garage was demolished and two floors with a basement were built in its place. The upper ceiling was raised and a new conservatory constructed. All the windows were replaced by windows with steel window frames and were arranged differently. The property has become transparent.
Long views ensure that the flowing layout truly comes into its own. The stairway has been moved to a central hall.
MODERNISM ACCENTUATED
Designed as accommodation for British Airways crew at the beginning of the 1950s, it was almost ruined after that with PVC windows, a different layout, a ‘classic’ fireplace and a spiral staircase. The characteristic round window has been restored to its former glory as have the sleek steel frames.
